Synopsis

When her mother was in the hospital with terminal cancer, Simone reminisced about her mother's life while Simone and her sister, Poupette, prepared to face the decision of whether to prolong a life when it is full of suffering. Like most people, they believed that it would be better to die than to continue to suffer, but their mother had a very different view of the matter. She truly believed she could find happiness in her own suffering.

Through her mother's beauty, her smile, and her pride in her life and in herself, Simone saw that to be human and to have individual choice are the most important aspects of existence.
